Reman: Like I said, In the past I've had a handful of packs "Go off" at me like fireworks after bad crashes (Usually with RC helis), So it's hard to get that image out of your head while stripping down Li-Po's. :)Today at 11:22:54

shawdreamer: the horror stories will always incite worry when messing about with Lipo's but its the same as everything else when working on electronics alike, alsong as your careful and methodical there's very little to panic about, I regularly recycle 4s's with a single dead cell into usable 3s packs, end of the days its alot more economical, safer and enviro friendly than having to bin them....just a pain that the dead cell is NEVER one of the outer cells so you always end up having to strip a good cell off to get at the bad cell before putting it back afterwards, its like dropping toast, it'll always land buttered side down and inevitably covered in pet fur Today at 00:11:16

Reman: Just did the one electrical job that still scares me. I dismantled some Lipo's with knacked cells and built usable packs out of the good cells. I've had packs go "VOOOOOOSH" at me in the past so I'm always slightly scared of having bare lipo contacts anywhere near what I'm working on, But all appears to have gone well and one of them is currently doing a charge/discharge cycle to make sure nothings a miss. :)January 20, 2019, 22:28:43

Reman: My original Dremel Pro made it to 14 years of heavy weekend use (And abuse) before it crocked. Dismantled that but it turned out to be a "Control module" fault, And Dremel made it ni on impossible to get into that without pooching it completely. January 20, 2019, 22:17:27

ched999uk: My 28 year old 12v 35w Weller soldering iron failed I didn't fancy forking out £100 for a new one. Stripped it down and found conductor snapped in cable. 10Mins later all back working great. I am very happy!!January 16, 2019, 17:23:06

shawdreamer: "look up there....its a drone!.....and whats this noise?..... no.....no..... it cant be!....NOOOOOOOO.......OOOOOOOOOOOOOPS I DID IT AGAIN, I PLAYED WITH YOUR HEAR....."January 10, 2019, 14:17:24

shawdreamer: tsk x2, just checked my thingiverse messages too... another a8 owner asking if one of my designs would work with his printer.... I said no as its not fire proof.... now he seems confused January 05, 2019, 15:35:09

shawdreamer: tsk.... a new Anet A8 owner asking for mod suggestions for his xmas first printer on thingiverse... I suggested a fire suppression system or atleast a wall mount for a fire extinguisher and smoke alarm..... he removed my post.... no helping some people January 05, 2019, 12:42:05

Reman: I did double check it with a metre (Mainly because I knew if I didn't check the polarity this would be the time the manufacturer had gone off script and put the negative in the middle of the coax) and felt slightly cheated because it was only making 19.7 volts. :)January 04, 2019, 14:01:11

i was after a brushless whoop and a lot of these are great when they work but people who have bought them say the FC is rubbish and fails after a whilebetafpv do a pro line which is there 1s brushless range which seems to get good reviewi decided to get the newbeedrone acrobee, the components used are more reliable, yes brushless motors do burn out eventually but you do have to put about a 100 packs through them before they go and they are easy and cheap to replace

Actually, this crazybee FC has the frsky receiver on the SPI bus and betaflight directly controls the protocolbecause of this, you can choose either D8 or D16Also you don't have to do finger gymnastics to hold the bind button and plug in power... you just hold the bind button down for 3 seconds after powering up
